This site is still Under Construction...

[FredH]

Welcome to the unofficial opening of GameArtisans.org.

This site is still under construction. Perhaps later in 2007, this site will open up fully, but for now, you can use this General Discussions forum as a universal forum for technical issues about the war.


Cheers

And here i am, blessing you with the holiest of pigness. http://www.pigged.net/bilder/pigson.png

As far as i know i signed up for the dominance wars beta-test thing and i got quite surprised to see that you are developing a totally new community and just to make sure, i have to ask...

Is this a new kind of community related to game art and will we see all the future cool contests here or is this just a central meeting place for the dominance wars and this will go bye bye after?




Also, i found a bug for you. Updating the signature =

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/artisan/public_html/forums/profile.php on line 4

Warning: fopen(customavatars/) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Is a directory in /home/artisan/public_html/forums/profile.php on line 6

[FredH]

Hmmm, right now, this site it is only needed for the war. Wether I decide to continue working on it after the war is up in the open:) If I did continue, I imagine this site would be primarily for game art contests. We can call it a game art competition community if you like hehe

Ok, get testing you:p

Thanks for the note on signatures. It seems avatars are having the same problems. I'll see what I can do.

I think you should continue but that´s just me.

I test and I test and I test but the page just doesn´t want to load fast for me. Seems to be connection problems or something... could be on my end. :)

[FredH]

doesn't load fast? strange. I can't really tell since I am using a crappy 56k modem (don't ask why I am using it.. it's a very sad sad story. Everyday I feel like hanging myself when it takes 3 minutes just to get into hotmail)

Good news is, on the 25th, I will upgrade my server account! It should be faster for the war:)

[kipiripi]

I got same error messsage but its working...I can create a signature and can edit it.

I've been trying links and searches and all sorts of crazy stuff to see if things will break. But so far everything seems to be running quite well.
I can't say I'm a big fan of the idle timeout, because I tend to have a few forums open pretty much all day and just refresh and have a look at what's going on... But I guess that's where the 'Remember me' tickbox comes into play.
Congratulations on the Community Award, well deserved I must say :thumb:

One error I found funny, which isn't really an error:
The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:

1. You have included 24 images in your message. You are limited to using 6 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.
Breaking things is fun.

Yup, you missed the ceremony when I got the award. It was great lol:lucky:

About the 24 images, I think I will keep it at 6 hehe. I saw some other forums that didn't have maximums... I am not sure this hosting package can handle that type of load right now.

That said, since you manage to stay on other forums without being timed out, I'll see if I can do the same for this one.

Transparency seems to mess up the background. Check my avatar to see what i mean. :)

[FredH]

I can't see anything wrong. Could you post a screen shot for me?

[Oink]

Shouldn´t the avatar background be black? I use firefox 2.0.0.1

[FredH]

Oh!

oh crap.. I'll poke around on the control panel to see if I can fix this. The avatars must be using a background color somewhere..

thanks!

[FredH]

Fixed:thumb:

[Emil Mujanovic]

As for the limiting to 6 images is cool by me and its understandable why its in place. I was just more spamming to make sure the smilies were working and all sorts of random shit to see if things would break. But you had it covered.
One thing... the gameartisans.org splash page. When I first loaded the site, I had a bit of trouble finding the "- Enter GameArtisans.org Forum -" link. At home I use a 19" widescreen (1400 X 900) and the link is too low to been seen without scrolling down (At work I'm using 2x19" CRTs and at 1280 X 1024 and the link is on screen). At first I didn't notice the scrollbar to the right and spent a good 2 or 3 minutes clicking crap hoping to get into the site. Yeah... bit of a tard thing to do but I guess it would be easier having the enter link always visible without people having to scroll down.
What does anyone else think about this?

-caseyjones

[FredH]

Good point. I have raised everything by 10 pixels.. hope this helps:p Besides that, I also made the top logo clickable, so now you can enter by pressing on the logo. If people are still have trouble finding it later, I'll see if I can put something in that is more clear.

Thanks man:)

Fixed:thumb:

Yay! Blackness! :cool:

[sinz]

Everything going okay now Fred?

I submitted the final but never saw it in the final section. Maybe did it too late?!

Just checking in.

[FredH]

The finals are ok. They don't really need to be tested:) They are kind of simple. Regardless, thanks for your help on this. You guys came up with some really great comments! We are making the changes now.

[Saker]

Good luck ^^...

[claydough]

shadow assasins... great idea for a competition!

[Oink]

Well, not during the comp as far as i know :o

[Satanmonkey]

This place should develop into a lasting community. That way we can say 'we were here first' to all the newbies. And smoke pipes. And get all annoyed when their first post is 'oh noes my manipulator handlez have disappeared!'. Or something like that.

[claydough]

Looking good Fred,

[badbadmaru]

Haa lo haa lo. Test test.
